Hi Pinkheart: I would make sure that your Dr. and your pschologist are both aware of what the other is saying and prescribing. Are your Drs. male or female? Not sure if that matters but it just sounds very odd that a Dr. would tell an opiate addict NOT to go to NA for fear of being hit on. That just doesn't sit right with me!

Get your Drs. on the same page with you about stopping or tapering anything before you do it on your own. When I quit oxy I did it with my Drs.s help and support and it worked - never relapsed and been clean now 2.7 years. I could n't have done it on my own.

Is there someone you trust (male or female) who would go with you to a NA meeting? It might make you more comfortable. After all, even Sophia Grace has her Hype Girl, Rosie!
